In June 2009 Patrick Gaspard, a Brooklyn-based, 41-year-old Democratic operative, became White House director of the Office of Political Affairs.
Patrick Gaspard’s official responsibility is to provide the president with an "accurate assessment of the political dynamics affecting the work of his administration" and to "work with powerbrokers around the country to help push the president’s agenda".
According to Rep. Gregory Meeks;
He’s a low key, behind-the-scenes, no-fingerprints kind of guy. I need something, I call Patrick. And if he calls, it’s a big deal. He’s close to the president.”
Considerable attention has been focused on Gaspard's ties to the radical community group ACORN. . . .

It’s interesting that 0,s handlers seem to keep him in the dark, deliberately—he’s constantly on the move, so that he is totally unaware of anything that is going on. That’s why his moves and words are so tone deaf and outrageous—they are not doing the job they are “supposed” to be doing very well. Wonder why? We’re supposed to think they are such geniuses.
Another person not culturally American, very close to 0.
Please note re Soren’s post: Patrick Gaspard *STILL* works with Working Families’ Party [WFP].

Soren noted the Troy, NY story here: i’d just like to additionally note that WH Political Director Patrick Gaspard (is actually even now working with the WFP in NYC elections). Just to make it clear that there is no real separation between any of these groups.
“And the ballots themselves explicitly link the fraud to Democratic Party officials and Working Family Party officials to that fraud.”

ACORNS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
(1) ACORN's man in the Obama White House is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House. He's the President’s fixer and the man who gets ACORN projects and money. Gaspard once worked for ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis and still works for the WFP (and he's still using our tax dollars).
(2) Patrick Gaspard’s brother Michael Gaspard works for The Advance Group. Michael Gaspard works for ACORN’s registered lobbying organization and with ACORN’s national spokesman. Michael apparently keeps a lower profile than his brother. He does not appear on lobbyist disclosures for The Advance Group NY State. Nonetheless, he works there. Ms. Lewis’s contacts list confirms Michael Gaspard’s employment there.
(3) Shaun Donovan. Mr. Donovan is HUD Secy. Before that, Mr. Donovan was NYC Commissioner of Dept of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)---where Donovan worked on affordable housing initiatives----projects right up ACORN’s alley.
(4) Karine Jean-Pierre is WH liaison for Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis). Karine once worked for John Edwards (vertical or horizontal?). She left there to work for Cong Anthony Weiner, then became Barack Obama’s regional political director.
The web of connections from ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis straight into the White House, out the other door into HUD and the Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis), then circle back to ACORN’s lobbying operation.
ACORNS EVERYWHERE Senate Finance Committee Study
ACORN comprises a mind-boggling 94 different affiliates, that amounts to "a big shell game," a biting Senate Finance Committee study shows. The study, by the staff of Iowa Republican Charles Grassley, reveals four ACORN charity groups give more than half their revenue to taxable entities that engage in "impermissible lobbying and political activity." ACORN and it’s subsidiaries for decades have moved taxpayer money into their own pockets and into the left-wing Marxist machine.
Sen Charles Grassley's documents show leaders of ACORN community groups transferred several million dollars in charitable and government money-----meant for the poor---- to parts of the group that have political (and sometimes profit-making) missions.
Sen Grassley's documents indicate that ACORN's tax-exempt groups----along with its tangled web of allied organizations---- used more than half their charitable and public money in 2006 to pay other ACORN affiliates.
==================================================
Let's be patriotic---and help the White House distance itself from ACORN corruption (/snic)

It’s looking like there is less and less need to ask if this is simply corruption on a grand and persistent scale, or an attempt at a radical coup: It is clearly both, the former, despite its appeal in it own right, also being used in the service of the latter.
Astounding to behold, and to see how it’s been there all along without sufficient media scrutiny.
Thanks to all of you who have done such yeoman’s work on this.
Glad to have ya!
Well put.
re: media -— it’s now media complicity. They are looking more and more like enemy collaborators now.
And furthermore, this corruption has been known to Congress for a long, long time. Any moderate Dem or Repub that doesn’t speak up now is on the coup collaborator list, in my eyes. Their silence is not only a betrayal to the Constitution; its a betrayal to their constituency.
